Chapter 1123 Burning

When Ma Chao worked hard for the transformation of the Ma family, Cao Cao also began a heart-taking activity here.

Cao Cao, who retreated in Nanpi and even invincible on all sides, seemed to have no sorrow at all. Today, he ascended to the big tent at the time of Mao. Xu Chu and Wang must guard left and right, and Wen Dongwu stood on both sides. Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Mao Yu, Xue Ti and Jiang Ji bowed to the ground. Next to them were Xia Houyuan, Cao's brothers, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Zhu Ling and Lv Qian intervened to salute. In addition, there is also a more conspicuous thing, that is the former Yuan's Wenwu, led by Ju Shu. Although it is also ranked behind Cao's Wenwu according to Wenwu, no matter how you look at it, these people are still temporarily incompatible with Cao's group.

Today's military lineup is so neat that its capable generals and resourcemen are all present. It can be seen that Cao Cao's desire to make a big move. However, including Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who are usually closest to Cao Cao, also look blank. Such an atmosphere made the people present more or less doubtful.

After Cao Cao saw the people salute, he nod his head and returned the salute: "Please sit down... Carry it up!" Without too much greeting and mobilization, Cao Cao clapped his hands and directly entered the theme.

With his greeting, the four tiger guards solemnly carried two large boxes into the big tent. After putting down the boxes, they saluted without saying a word. Everyone quickly held their breath and looked at the two large boxes three feet long, two feet wide and three feet high. Some fine people seemed to guess Cao Cao's intention, and their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.

Sure enough, Cao Cao casually pointed to these two big boxes and asked, "Guys, let's have a recreation in our spare time today. I came up with this question, can any of you answer it?

shooting is a superb and interesting game played by divination learners of the Book of Changes in ancient times to improve their occupation skills. 'shooting' means guessing, and 'overing' means covering. The overlayer covers an object with Ouyu, box and other devices, and the shooter guesses what is inside through the occupation and other channels.

Cao Cao now pointed to the two large unopened boxes, with the intention of letting his subordinates come down and guess what was inside. If it is usual, it doesn't hurt if everyone guesses about this. However, at this time, Cao's army was besieged by the Ma army on all sides, and the internal food and fodder supply was about to run out. What's more... Just yesterday, Cao Cao finally made up his mind to personally kill Yuan Shao, his good friend and half-life enemy under Nanpi City!

There is no fool here. Cao Cao's killing of Yuan Shao is an obvious signal. Moreover, in these days, Cao's manipulation is not happy and angry, but all those who know the inside story are worried, not to mention how anxious and irritable Cao Cao, the helmsman carrying Cao's foundation on his shoulders, should be!

However, just as everyone began to breathe slowly, some people dared to stand up.

"Lord, if Weichen guesses well, it should be a secret letter written by our own people to Yuan Benchu and Ma Mengqi a while ago before the Guandu War!"

Everyone looked back and saw that Cheng Yu, who had always been arrogant and bold. People who are familiar with Cheng Yu's nature, even if they have all kinds of resentment against Cheng Yu at this time, they also dare not go forward to argue - although Cheng Yu is arrogant and tough, once they can be sure that there is absolutely no surrender letter written by Cheng Yu in these two big boxes.

And after Cao heard Cheng Yu say the answer with a black face, he seemed to smile and said, "Yes, it was really my good friend at the beginning. He was defeated. Before leaving yesterday, he deliberately left me such a big gift."

Although Cao Cao's words were joking, they could not hear any jokes from his tone. Next, Cao Cao got up and walked to the two big boxes, pulled out the Yitian sword and picked it up: "You can take a look."

Two boxes were opened by Cao Cao one after another, which were filled with various letters, including bamboo slips, silk, hemp paper and printed letters, but there was no half of Fufeng paper and Yanzhou paper. This is probably because Fufeng paper and Yanzhou paper are advanced supplies in the Sikong shogunate, and it is easy to find out where the source is going. It can be seen that in times of crisis, human wisdom is completely infinite.

Moreover, one thing that makes everyone gloomy but lucky is the number of these books... It's really a little too much.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became extremely cold and strange. Everyone dared not look up at Cao Cao's face. They all realized the seriousness of the matter. At this time, in addition to trembling, his psychology is more about using his limited wisdom to speculate on Cao Cao's psychology - no leader likes others to betray him. Judging from the number of secret letters in this box, hundreds of people want their heads to land; but on the other hand, Cao's army has had twists and turns on the battlefield in Jizhou. , the newcomers are not convinced and the new land is not safe. If so many people are to be dealt with at once, I'm afraid it will cause a series of shocks, which must also be what Cao Gong does not want to see.

Does the law not blame the public?

Maybe, after all, if Cao Cao settles accounts after autumn today, the central force of the Sikong shogunate may only leave a backbone, and even a few backbones will be missing.

Turn a blind eye?

Is this possible? Cao Cao's temperament is the most unpredictable. He has never lacked his great courage and the fierceness of pushing his rolling head to the guillove.

Finally, there was enough silence for a long time. After Cao gently trampled down the hearts of those people, he sat down again. After taking up Yuan Shao's favorite bronze wine lord and drinking a glass of wine, he opened his mouth and said to Cheng Yu, "Since Zhong De guessed the objects in this box, if you are What will I do?"

At this time, everyone took a breath of cold air and asked Cheng Yu, the guy who can eat human flesh, to answer this question. You don't have to think about the answer!

Sure enough, Cheng Yu didn't even think about it, and directly said coldly: "Kill!"

One word fell, and all the seats were shocked. At this time, everyone knew how cold and tough Cheng Yu was. Almost the next moment, everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was helpless. After taking a look at Yuan's group of Wenwu with a complex face, he sighed leisurely and said, "Ming Gong, these two boxes are obviously the problem that Yuan Gong deliberately left you before he collapsed. If you fulfill Yuan Gong's will, I'm afraid the person who should laugh the most is Yuan Gong, who is already under the nine springs..."

After listening to Xun Yu's advice, Cao Cao seemed to nod with satisfaction. He stood up again. Although he was not tall, his will was so great in front of Wenwu, which was full of low hearts at this time: "It is true that you want to kill, but you can't kill. It's about killing. Only when I help you eliminate all those timid hearts can you stand in this big account!"

"I haven't read any secret letters in this box." Cao Cao explained, and then said without stopping, "Come on, take these two boxes out and burn them in public!"

The two big boxes poured with turpentine quickly ran up with flames. Everyone here looked at the jumping flame and didn't know how to open their mouth for a moment. Although it was still a long distance away from the flame, they all seemed to feel that the flame had filled their hearts and completely burned out the darkness and fear in the bottom of their hearts. At the same time, the flame also passed into their eyes and burned brightly: it was just the Ma family's army besieged on all sides. With Cao Gong such a wise master, even if they are smashed to pieces, what are they afraid of?!

"Cao Gongying, he will definitely try his best after that, and then he will die!" Everyone tacitly bowed and saluted Cao Cao respectfully.

Cao Cao nodded and accepted calmly, waved his hand again, and ordered the civil and military to resign. However, when Ren Jun left at the end, he inadvertently saw that Cao Cao's right hand tapped twice: that was a signal for him to stay alone...
